The main focus of the present study was to better understand the effects of altitudinal gradient factors on the photochemical processes as reflected in changes in fast chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics and related biophysical parameters in low and high-elevation ecotypes of Dracocephalum kotschyi and Nepeta crassifolia (located in Mazandaran, adjacent Central Alborz mountain range, central-northern part of Iran). In both Dracocephalum kotschyi and Nepeta crassifolia, high-altitude plants exhibited higher fluorescence parameters as compared to low-altitude plants, which was coupled with higher levels of carotenoids, suggesting proper functioning of PSII. Increased photochemical activity in high-altitude plants was achieved by increased levels of the activity of the oxygen-evolving complex (Fv/Fo), the performance index (PIabs) and the quantum yield for electron transport (φEo). In addition, a clear increase in the relative amplitude of the IP (Fm) phase from the OJIP curve was observed in high-altitude plants as compared to low-altitude plants. These results indicated a significant variation in the performance of chlorophyll a fluorescence parameter, between low- and high-altitude plants, which is apparently due to eco-physiological differences in relation to their altitudinal distributions. Summarizing, high-altitude plants have developed a series of mechanisms with respect to photosynthetic apparatus efficiency to protect themselves from adverse environmental threats.
